Deep dives

Navigating Anxiety in Early Dating

Anxiety and overthinking are significant barriers in the early stages of dating, often manifesting as fear of rejection and self-doubt. Individuals frequently find themselves overanalyzing communication, second-guessing their actions, and worrying about how they come across to their dates. This heightened anxiety can lead to behaviors like double texting or seeking constant reassurance, which can inadvertently push potential partners away. The persistent fear of making the 'wrong' decision can hinder authentic connection and enjoyment in dating experiences.
